In this paper, we propose a new method for locating lightning discharges. The proposed method is based on the time reversal technique introduced for acoustics in the early 1990s. By analogy to the derivations in acoustics, equations for the focusing of ele ...
We discuss the transmission line (TL) theory and its application to the problem of lightning electromagnetic field coupling to TLs. We start with the derivation of the general field-to-TL coupling equations for the case of a single-wire line above a perfec ...
Recently stacked metamaterial structures coupled to a conductive plane have been investigated and have been shown to exhibit the same properties as stacked structures with double the layers, due to dipole mirror coupling. Here we study a system of stacked ...

Recently stacked metamaterial structures coupled to a conductive plane have been investigated and have been shown to exhibit the same properties as stacked structures with double the layers, due to dipole mirror coupling. Here we study a system of stacked ...
In this paper, an overview of recent theoretical investigations and experimental characterization of the electromagnetic fields in the vicinity of a tower struck by lightning is presented. The presence of an elevated strike object has been included in two ...
By explicitly writing the equations of motion for highly relativistic electrons in an electromagnetic field we show the equivalence between the magnetostatic and optical (laser) undulator-based free electron lasers (FELs). In order to gain insight into the ...
The thermodynamics of an electrically charged, multicomponent continuous medium with electromagnetic fields is analysed in the non-relativistic limit. Applying locally the first and second law of thermodynamics and Maxwell’s equations for a linear theory o ...
By introducing a conducting metal layer underneath a Fang resonant asymmetric ring/disk plasmonic nanocavity system, we demonstrate that electromagnetic fields. can be strongly enhanced. These large electromagnetic fields extending deep into the medium are ...
The formulation describing the electromagnetic field radiated by a lightning return stroke over a two-layered conducting ground is presented in this paper. The derivation of the Green's functions required to solve the problem is first discussed in detail, ...
The optical properties of plasmonic nanostructures supporting Fano resonances are investigated with an electromagnetic theory. Contrary to the original work of Fano, this theory includes losses in the materials composing the system. As a result, a more gen ...
